patch clamp

A technique in electrophysiology used to measure the ionic currents flowing through individual ion channels in a cell membrane. / To apply the patch clamp technique to a specific cell or membrane area to record electrical activity.

This term is a highly specialized technical expression used almost exclusively within the fields of electrophysiology and neuroscience. It refers to a precise method of isolating a small patch of cell membrane to study the behavior of single ion channels, which allows for a level of resolution impossible with whole-cell recordings.

In a laboratory setting, the term is used interchangeably as both a noun referring to the apparatus or the method, and a verb describing the act of performing the measurement. Because it is a compound technical term, it does not follow the typical idiomatic patterns of general English verbs.
